“Really lovely cottage.”

Very well equiped throughout. Very comfortable beds. Ideal location in Ambleside and very close to a large car park where the car park permit can be used. I would highly recommend this property.

“The cottage was gorgeous and a great location.”

Unfortunately the upstairs shower was leaking when we were staying so we only had the main bathroom to use for the 4 guests. Aside from this we would happily book to stay again in the future and we had a brilliant trip.

Thank you for your comments. We will ask our Maintenance team to look into the issue that you experienced with the shower. We hope to welcome you back. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team. Property Owner

Lynne August 2022

“What a lovely cottage, the owners have thought of every little detail.”

In a fantastic location seconds from all amenities. The appliances etc were all top of the range. Really comfortable beds and pillows. I was a little bit worried about the parking permit and if I would always find a space but even over the bank holiday weekend it was no issue!!!

- Lynne, August 2022

Louise June 2022

“Very pretty and well equipped cottage.”

Super comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Lovely to open the upstairs window and hear the blackbirds singing and jackdaws hopping around chimney pots. Great days out walking (no need to drive), beers and food in local pubs (cottage is at the heart of the village) and evenings by the fire.

- Louise, June 2022
Rebecca May 2022

“Perfect location.”

Lack of parking at the cottage was not an issue. Gorgeous cottage which was fabulously decorated.

- Rebecca, May 2022
Jessica May 2022

“Cosy cottage was just perfect!”

It's in a fabulous location, just a stone's throw from the main Ambleside public car park and the town centre. It's well appointed, very comfortable and lives up to its name. Ambleside is an amazing spot of you want to go walking in the fells as there are so many that are accessible without driving. Cosy cottage was an absolute gem and I would most definitely stay again!

- Jessica, May 2022
Sheelagh May 2022

- Kevin, April 2022
Helen April 2022

“Such a beautiful and well thought out property.”

So many small details that have clearly been carefully considered and made our stay so enjoyable. All the facilities were of top quality, amazing bedding and towels, super crockery and appliances in the kitchen, exceptionally comfy beds and much more! Great central location for the local amenities too. Car parking no issue at all. Would love to return on a future break!

- Helen, April 2022
Joanne March 2022

“We had a lovely 4 night stay at Cosy Cottage.”

The cottage was as described, very convenient for the center of Ambleside and the car park. The parking permit provided was very helpful and as it expired while we were there we were happily surprised when the new one was delivered during our stay. I would definitely stay again and would happily recommend Cosy Cottage.

- Joanne, March 2022

The carpark was a short walk from the property and the parking permit for local carparks was great. We would highly recommend this property and will be booking it for our next visit to the Lakes.

Rebecca December 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay, and we’re impressed by the quality of fixtures and fittings, and the cleanliness of the cottage on arrival.”

One thing we hadn’t anticipated was that there wouldn’t be an initial supply of logs for the stove. We’d have brought some from home if we’d realised. We hope to book again next year!

- Rebecca, December 2021

Teresa September 2021

“We loved our stay in cosy cottage.”

Everything was as we expected and we appreciated the good quality accessories in the kitchen and throughout. The cleaners did however overlook a used towel that had been left by the previous occupants which considering COVID was a little clumsy as they are meant to take more time to clean thoroughly. This is a lovely little cottage and owners have really made the most of the space.

- Teresa, September 2021

“The cottage had very high quality decor and facilities.”

It was an excellent location, tucked away round the corner from all amenities. It’s name is very appropriate and yet it was very contemporary. Excellent stay.

- Ms Dickinson, Nov 2019
Ms Barlow Jul 2019

“Thoughtfully and comfortably furnished and a real pleasure to stay in.”

The towels are thick and soft, the beds comfy and both showers hot and powerful. The location is excellent and free parking a bonus. Easy walk to local cafes and the great pub -the Golden Rule - on the doorstep.

The property

Tucked away amongst some of the oldest and prettiest cottages in Ambleside, Cosy Cottage is a beautifully refurbished traditional Lakeland cottage which, as the name suggests, offers a cosy and homely retreat, in a convenient location. The owners have lovingly created a well-planned and superbly presented cottage that is not just welcoming but reflects their attention to detail and desire to offer quality accommodation. Spread over three floors the cottage offers a comfortable, relaxing open plan living room and kitchen with slate topped breakfast bar; two great bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, and family bathroom. Lovers of the Lake District will immediately spot the Lakeland theme throughout with slate work tops, superb local artwork, maps, walking guides and even a cuddly sheep or two! Well situated just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Ambleside there is a great selection of restaurants and bars for every occasion, handy local shops and a plethora of walks from the door. == Accommodation in detail A small, open porch welcomes you to Cosy Cottage and as soon as you open the front door the cottage welcomes you in with a lovely living room with comfortable sofa, welcoming armchairs arranged around a warming log burning stove making it just the place to read, watch TV or relax with friends. The well planned kitchen is equipped with everything you could need and finished with beautiful Lakeland Green Slate work tops and breakfast bar. The bedrooms are found on the first and second floor with the master bedroom at the top of the stairs forming a master suite with super king size bed (can be made up as a twin - please specify when booking otherwise will be left as super king size) and quality ensuite shower room. On the middle floor the second bedroom has a king size bed and lovely window seat with views towards Loughrigg Fell. This bedroom is complemented with adjacent family bathroom with feature bath, shower cubicle, basin and WC. The property is centrally located and though it does not have its own parking space the owners have thoughtfully provided a parking permit for the local council car parks. Location Cosy Cottage is a short walk from the centre of Ambleside. Ambleside village is located on the northern shores of Lake Windermere. The surrounding scenery of Lakeland Fells is dramatic, and lends a stunning backdrop to the Lakeland stone buildings and attractive streets of the village. One of the Lake District's most sophisticated communities, Ambleside village is alive with interesting local businesses, shops and acclaimed Lake District restaurants and pubs. Friends or families will love the freedom this location brings. Stroll to the shops or out for a coffee, then wander to Waterhead Pier to take a cruise on the Lake. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly from Waterhead Pier (just outside the village centre) and provide a scenic and car free route to Bowness and Lakeside. A fabulous way for all to explore. For walking, Ambleside is renowned as a hub for enthusiasts. Numerous famous routes begin close by, and a wide range of strolls take in breath-taking scenery without having to travel too far. Ambleside is well stocked with outdoor shops and route information is widely available. By night, you'll find plenty to entertain. Catch a film at one of the two cinemas, enjoy a drink on the shores of the lake or sample some of our region's finest dining which is all just a stroll from your doorstep! The A591 winds its way from Ambleside to Grasmere and Keswick, branching off to Coniston and such delights as the Langdale Valley and Hawkshead.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
